Tank Bag

[LongRanger_imp]

I have rarely taken a ride in the last 46 years without having a tank bag on my bike. Eclipse, Bagman, Tourmaster, Cortech, Nelson Rigg, Givi, strap on, magnetic, tankloc. I still have 4 of them of different sizes I use for different needs...and I still use the map cases on every out of state trip. (see bottom pic you can see written map in case)

Seneca Rocks, West Virginia


Moscow Ohio power plant


The Pink Pig in Chilo Ohio

Interesting spectrum of backdrops.

And bikes. Ferret has good taste!

It's weird to see you aside a Triumph... Really pretty bike, BTW.

It was a pretty nice bike, smooth, quiet, a little under powered, a little under braked. Bought it new in 03. Eventually sold it to my brother who rode it for a few years and sold it to my son's Father in Law, so it's still in the family lol. The 750 Nighthawk was also under powered and under braked but a great bike. Loved the FZ-1 (I had 2 an 01 and an 04) great bikes lots of power, great brakes, but kinda notchy transmissions 26,000 mile valve checks that never went out of spec. Made a great solo sport tourer. Precursor to the FJR for me I guess. Which is a giant FZ-1 with touring accouterments.

Really awesome tank bag photos Ferret!!

Also, that '77 Kawi KZ1000 is almost as good.

Needless to say, Ferret had too many bikes , and I wonder if you have a list of all of them..?

The CB 1100 DLX reminds me so much of that bike.

Although hard to tell from the CB1100 sample pic, the other specimens appear to be absent of RLETs.

Yes, and a great capture of history. I see the original was done on the "smudge resistant" photo finishing prints.
